   --- How to Make Vegetarian Heart Pizza ---

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (220°C). To make a heart paper cutout, fold the paper in half and cut out the heart shape with scissors. If it is not properly shaped, simply trim the edges until you have a heart that will fit.

3. 3

   Unfold the pizza dough on the wooden board. If your dough is too thick, then roll it out using a rolling pin, about 1/4 inch thick.Place the heart cutout on the rolled dough and and cut out shape from the rolled-out dough using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Remove the excess dough. I have made about 6 heart-shaped pizzas using 800 grams of dough.

4. 4

   Spread the pizza or marinara sauce evenly over the heart-shaped piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Add your choice of toppings over the sauce. I have used a combination of different toppings on all the pizzas. The veggie toppings I have used are mushrooms, onions, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and pickled peppers. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and grated pizza cheese over the veggies. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and oregano on top.

5. 5

   Roll the dough again and repeat until all the dough is used up. Bake pizza in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Remove the pizza from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and top with your favorite greens before slicing and serving. Slice and serve the pretty, gourmet, and delicious heart pizza hot and enjoy!
